Except for crystal study the 4 tech we have are for ship parts so taking the time now to progress two in different categories and try to get them close to finishing. I do want to unlock some sapiens tech but we have not had a 3rd focus to do so.

I don't see which facts you operate on if irl there were only two wars of roughly the same scale and both of them had entire generations thrown into a grinder. The bolded part of your quote matters only if conscripting an entire generation would pose logistical, morale or economics penalties, which they don't, as far as we know.
I also do not argue for mindlessly throwing soldiers into the fray because I believe in drawning enemy in bodies, regardless of what it might seem as to you. I assume the same level of competence among officers regardless of how many people we contribute. But an army of 5 million can do more than an army of 500 thousands assuming the same equipment and skill; and, probably, with less casualties.
This is a fair stance to take. But in that case, we should pull out our ground forces completely. We can't increase them but then decide we can't add more, because more is actually worse.
The problem is, that if this succeeds we'll face a much weakened swarm. But if this offensive fails, we will face it's full potential.

We do know that it does. Heck, just doing the whole conscripting an entire generation would have given us negative population growth and we know that going to war has had a political/social impact of making us more militaristic. If you are going to ignore that certain events have and will have indirect effects that aren't explicitly told to us when we choose them, then there is no point arguing with you because you haven't been paying proper attention to the details of the quest.

Social impact is not a penalty. I don't see anything wrong with becoming a bit more militaristic on the eve of a galactic scale war for the survival of a number of sapient species. Including ours.

For terms of scale to these arguments:
The Gellar Monarchy is committing only a few billion ground forces, with it's constituent species committing more than half their own populations of their own accord (considering one of their homeworlds is one of the reclamation targets), a good chunk of their industry, and well over two hundred size-worth of ships. The An'tak'he have committed close to ten billion on the ground, roughly two thirds the ship value, and about as much industry. Halon has decided to almost entirely commit industrial strength and ships.
All in all, your commitments of a million ground soldiers hasn't even been enough to be more than a particularly small subdivision of a cleansing invasion, though it is accepted as reasonably scaled to your size. Your commitment of the one fleet detachment has been much more effective, solely because you have psions capable of detecting the gestalt's main organizational ships that are up in the thick of combat, without having quite the extreme proximity to the Psoq'a that ground troops have. You have not committed any industries, which, again, given your relative development, is mostly expected.
For more specific measurements of the current state of things:
This is, indeed, a pre-emptive invasion. If it fails at it's current stage, the Psoq'a planned offensive will still be greatly reduced from it's forecasted strength (though they will probably put great efforts into hardlining directly at your face, enough that they would be even more predictable on offense, The Consciousness is very petty and vindictive and does not like you). However, the primary goal of this invasion is humanitarian; all conquests are to be returned to the species that originally populated them. As a consequence, your population, which is currently led by the sapient equivalent to humanitarians, would see significant boosts to opinion, though you might end up with a permanent hate-boner for the Psoq'a and a strong militaristic bent (Think of all the creatures and species that couldn't escape these beasts! Think of all the species that can't escape because these monsters are left free to run rampant across every other arm of the galaxy!).
The end goal is going to slightly widen the 'frontline' against the swarm, but since you've targeted several hyperlane hubs, it will massively widen theirs, which is part of the reason this is so attractive; the swarm does not like to drop below a minimum threshold for defensive garrisons, and every ship it defends with is one it does not attack with.

So, with that in mind, the difference between committing 100 million forces is of very little significance. It'd amount to less than 1% increase in deployed ground forces, while opening the offensive up to major risks in the form of betrayal and invasion, as well as various kinds of disruption.
In addition, people should keep in mind that our space forces (which are vastly more effective) consume energy, which we're rapidly bleeding. We need that pop to gain energy.

So, by any chance would expanding the number of people sent to the front mean a higher chance of gaining a tech to study based on resisting psichic pressure, or something similar? Or a military thing to help train our troops to do it, or something like that. Not immediate unlock of the tech, but a small number of research points already put in it.

Well it is 50 million, I revised it down and kept it there which is less than one turns pop growth on our home world and is likely pulling in part from reserves. We are nowhere near scrapping the barrel with that deployment.

We're deep in the red on energy expenditure. We're already going to be scraping the barrel with zero deployment.

Our energy reserves increased by 6 this turn. And sending 50 million still ends up with us up 20+ million pop on our homeworld so it wont be going down from there.

Each fleet deployement costs 10 energy, which is going to increase rapidly as more ships are added.

Honestly I am expecting our fleet contribution to take casualties which means we will want a steady supply of ships to at least reinforce up to the current level of deployment.

It might add one utterly random project, and only if the gained die goes into the chance of those projects. You have a lot of active projects, the chance of this happening is smaller than usual.
It would increase your reserved Order progress considerably, but the issue is a matter of psychic maturity, not technology. Yes, if you put together a proper psi-division, they will naturally be more resilient, because you won't be accepting Dalfea with weak or latent abilities, but you can't just increase the level of strength of the average Dalfea.
That... was a big error I made.
You sent... 1 main cruiser, 1 destroyer, 1 frigate, 4 Corvettes... that's 7 energy, 1 alloy. So, -14 energy, -2 alloy
They are taking some damage, but as part of the most unreasonably lucky task force, they did not take enough that field repair stations can't fix them up, even this time despite being the most hotly contested area.
Thanks for the info, replaced it with filing the Most Valiant of the Hearth (Head of Planetary Defense and Expansion)
Would adversity not speed maturity? Force the psi abilities of the army Dalfea to get up to par faster than it would normally occur? Just in order to survive on the battlefield despite the hive mind attention
Why is it just time that increases psi powers? Is it a genetic thing which naturally increases through the generations? Or what? Is there anything we could do to speed our Psionic maturity?

The overall power of a psionic isn't something you can train, edit, or even generationally select for more of. Notably, the average strength of your race's potential does rise as more of them exist, but this only affects the overall average. There will always be Dalfea whose abilities are weaker than their neighbor's.
The only surefire solution to this is to separate out the most resilient and powerful for military training, or develop a level of collective thought that would border on hive-minded, yourself, so that the weaker wills can be overshadowed by stronger ones.

The invasion is winding down, even as much of the fighting gets worse. Cinematic views of heroic federation ships storming frightful looking bio-orbital stations, and various task forces coming together to down node ships, all look good to the public and keep morale high, but the reality of the matter is that one of the main objectives is dangerously close to slipping out of the attackers' grasp.
While this all happens, the Council continues to expand it's holdings in the reaches of Aldiron, laying claim to an ancient orbital graveyard, filled with twisted metal and stripped relics of a bygone era.
Last turn's attrition: 37 - suffered losses and damages - 2 corvettes, 1 frigate

Adding 10 million ground forces... Assigned to inner reach garrisons
Iterating Heroic Push in the Core...
A series of masterstroke offenses have rolled up massive swathes of Psoq'a hivespace in the galactic core area. Fighting is fierce, but despite the intense commitments in the area, the Psoq'a are being pushed back to the objective lines, and the fleet is setting a course for the Inner Reaches, to repair and prepare to weather the approaching offensive.
92, 90, 95 v 74, 30, 70
Quiet Fortification of the Inner Reach...
Defenses are built with almost no resistance or counterattacks, and the entire region is being thoroughly cleansed of Psoq'a holdouts by ground forces unmolested.
-Your own troops are stationed on worlds with limited expected presence of Psoq'a tunnels or underground networks, and see only a little action, with much less risk to the psychically sensitive.
88, 45, 16 v 3, 8, 2
Major fighting in the Outer Reach...
The reach task force continues to suffer setbacks, and a series of trap maneuvers catches the Far Rim aid off guard, almost annihilating the fleet. Despite the damage, the fleet has nearly claimed the main regional hub. One final attack is expected to claim the system, but there isn't much time left to fortify it.
Slow Progress.
-Your detachment has the great fortune to have not be utterly annihilated in the pitched Battle of Heavy Gate Singularity, and the commander continues to brutalize hive capital ships, and even scuttled a few key orbitals in the region.

Threat Containment Initiative (Federal Chairperson Proposing)
-The Psoq'a hives have become increasingly aggressive across the hyperspace lanes leading to Fafna. Xeno analysts are predicting a major offensive by the swarm within the decade, and military experts suggest a preemptive attack. We have no choice. In order to protect the Aldiron Arm and the lives of our sapient races, we must engage in a scorched-earth offensive against the swarm.
-Commit fleets, industry, and manpower to the joint offensive command.
